Coda is a developer tool that gives you all the tools for building web applications in an innovative one-window web development environment. By having Coda installed on your Mac, you can eliminate the need of having five or six separate programs for coding, testing and reference, making your project management much more streamlined and easier to manage form the dashboard of just a single versatile app.
Upon starting the tool, you will be greeted with the list of your favorite applications (called “Sites” by the app). From there, you can click on any one of them and be transported on the last position where you left your work before, with all connections to servers, splits and tabs quickly restored to their previous state. Coda for macOS has six core sections, all accessible via intuitive tabbed interface at the top of the application. Those tabs are Sites (your current projects, with your own set of files, FTP settings, access to both local and remote versions of site, and perfect save synchronization so that you can always resume your work at moment’s notice), Edit, Preview, CSS, Terminal and Books. In addition to those core tools, the app also has a powerful FTP client, code or content editor, support for collaboration via Bonjour network, command-line utility and plugins that are created either with the internal scripting tool “Coda Plug-in Creator” or via many other popular programming languages (Cocoa, AppleScript, Perl…).
What have it added to Coda lately?
Plug-ins
This is huge! Teach the app new tricks, and extend its functionality, lickety-split. Download plug-ins that others have written, or write your own plug-ins using your favorite scripting language. This is just the beginning — learn more in the Coda Developer Zone. We look forward to seeing what you make!
Open quickly
Hit Control-Q to instantly access the Open Quickly window. Type a few letters of the local file you want to edit, anywhere in your site. Ka-jang! Instantly open it. It's Spotlight for your website files!
Smart Spelling
Spell check your words — not your code. And in macOS 10.5, do it as you type!
Subversion
Work with a team using the most popular source control system there is, baked right into the sidebar. Check out code, update, commit changes — yep, the program just saved you even more time.
Find across files
You can now find and replace text across multiple local files — open files, files in a specific folder, or the files in your 'site' — using the same sleek, inline search bar you know and love.
